STILL ON UNIFORM MATTER

In the ongoing brouhaha about wearing uniform or not, I have this profound insight to share with those who are receptive to the truth.

Uniform or no uniform, the most important thing is delivery of a very good job well done by everyone concerned.

If law makers are so uncomfortable and outraged by 'unbearable skyrocket rate' of injustice and corrupt practices in the society the way they were overtly outraged by refusal of an officer to put on his uniform so much he was refused audience unless he comply; corruption and evil deeds would have been drastically reduced if not totally checked out.

When a people begin to major in the minor and minor in the major, they create chaos and become a mess. Should everyone in the workforce begin to wear uniform today, it will profit little in as much we take our eyes and minds off gross injustice, indiscipline and corrupt practices. For as long we don't walk out people guilty of criminality in the corridor of power to make a positive change the very way Ali was walked out to put on custom uniform (and Magu was rejected to head EFCC based on the allegations filed against him by DSS), the real change we crave is already thrown away into deep blue sea.

However, anybody undertaking a uniformed job should align for orderliness and identification among other valid reasons for wearing uniform. But in keeping with, such fellow should deliver excellent performance on duty - which is the greatest of it all.

Until Nigerians at all levels are dissatisfied and tired of our negative tendencies (indiscipline, injustice, corruption and mediocrity); those wrong things common to us will never be tired of us thereby, they will always be on the increase. Corruption will never stop itself because it is not self evolved - people indulge in it; it is people that must fiercely resist it by firmly restraining themselves individually and collectively from perpetrating it.
